Diagram for Projector


This is my layout for the MINI projector, some things that I will have to figure out are:

1. The angle of the mirrors

2. If I need a heat sink or fan

3. The space to house the electronics in

4. Specifications of lenses and other dimensions

Goals

Right now I am looking at building something like this Mini LED Projector. Hopefully my version will be a bit smaller and with all the parts integrated inside the case and a bit more discrete (the lens sticks out quite far). Also I have a lot of speakers lying around dying to be used in something. Ipod integration would be another biggie, using the link in the previous post about the pins and how to retrieve video and audio information. So right now here are my main goals:

1. Discrete packaging and lens

2. Speakers in product case

3. Ipod integration

No Night Vision

I have decided to abort the night vision project for three reasons:

1. It costs to much for a decent camera and lcd and for the hookup of the two.

2. A phone camera and lcd (that I have) would work fine anyways, just need some IR leds and I am good to go.

3. Far too complex and time consuming to complete! When an easier (&cheaper!) solution is so obvious.

Researching it gave some good insights, doing the mini projector project would be a fun experiment to do though. Maybe with some research I may be able to come up with some sort of setup for a mini projector!

Infrared camera DIY

Getting inspiration from YOUTUBE I would like to experiment and see how much those lcd's are and see about cameras and size and what not.
